Configuration Problem

geometric1 · Post by **geometric1** » Tue Feb 15, 2005 1:51 am

I just finished my configuration file, but when I double click wircd, and look at services, this shows up:

* Loading IRCd configuration ..
[error] Couldn't open "unrealircd.conf": No such file or directory
[error] Could not load config file unrealircd.conf
[error] IRCd configuration failed to load

Am I doing something wrong??? I named it unrealircd.conf and put it in the main unreal folder. It is a notepad document....a .txt...I don't know how to make a .conf file if that's the problem. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, does anyone else??

okies if you have it in notepad choose Save As and change the file type from .txt to All Files and call it unreal.conf .

Atm its called unreal.conf.txt hence unreal cant find it .

or type in your shell "mv unrealircd.conf.txt unrealircd.conf"

Great thanks so much...I'll get back to you if I get my server up or still have problems

um I am still getting the same thing...

* Loading IRCd configuration ..
[error] Couldn't open "unrealircd.conf": No such file or directory
[error] Could not load config file unrealircd.conf
[error] IRCd configuration failed to load

What am I doing wrong???

I have it in the main unreal folder, saved as "all" I don't know what I'm doing wrong

or type in your shell "mv unrealircd.conf.txt unrealircd.conf"

I know this will seem stupid...but what do you mean type in your shell???

A command prompt or DOS prompt, depending on which version of Windows you have.

A hint: You probably have "hide known file extensions" checked.

Open up mycomputer, or whatever.
go to the tools menu.
click options.
go to the view tab.
Look for the option "Hide extensions for known file types" and uncheck it.

(Aside: ms sucks >=()

The link I posted earlier had very specific instructions on how to change this. I suggest you follow them, because they are probably the simplest you will find.

Because I assume you are lazy and do not wish to click the link, or just whatever, I am posting some instructions here. These are slightly different, but will have the same effect:

1. Open up the conf in NotePad, or whatever application you use to edit it.

2. Go to "Save As" in the File menu.

3. Where is says "Save as type" select "All files" from the drop-down box.

4. Type "unrealircd.conf" (WITH THE QUOTES) in the "File name" box.

5. Click "Save".

This will force Windows to save it as unrealicd.conf.

Stealth..I'm not lazy...I clicked the link and followed the instructions...still I have the same problem.

Hmm I typed that command into dos and it said that it was not a universally supported command

Ok stealth I tried it again, and something different comes up

[error] unrealircd.conf:89: Missing semicolon before close brace
[error] Could not load config file unrealircd.conf
[error] IRCd configuration failed to load

I will find that line and post it here if I cant figure out where I am missing the semicolon

I fixed one problem, but here's one I don't know how to fix.

* Loading IRCd configuration ..
[error] unrealircd.conf: Unexpected EOF for section starting on line 33
[error] Could not load config file unrealircd.conf
[error] IRCd configuration failed to load

Here's the line:

Code: Select all

oper supergeometric {

I dont think thats's it because it's the admin block, and my problem is in the oper block.

I need to know what is wrong here

Code: Select all

oper supergeometric {
	class clients;
	from {
		 user@LocalOp;
	};
	password "removed";
	flags {
		netadmin;
		can_gkline;
		can_gzline;
		can_zline;
		can_restart;
		can_die;
		global;
                can_override;
                can_setq;
                
	};

also...will the user@locop work or do I need something else there....Sorry that I have so many problems. This is the first server I have set up

You have an out of date IE version.

Look for the one: Booting - Unexpected EOF for section starting on line NNN

(hint: your problem will be in the block(s) above that oper block)

geometric1 · Post by **geometric1** » Wed Feb 16, 2005 6:24 pm

I still can't find the problem!!!

Code: Select all

me {
	name "irc.fadchat0.tripod.com";
	info "FADChat";
	numeric 1;
};

admin {
	"supergeometric";
	"[email protected]";
};

class clients {
	pingfreq 90;
	maxclients 500;
	sendq 100000;
	recvq 8000;
};

allow {
	ip *;
	hostname *;
	class clients;
	maxperip 5;
};

listen *:6601 {
	options {
		ssl;
		clientsonly;
	};
};

That's everything above the line...
